VISITOR INFORMATION GUIDE FOR STATE PARKS, FORESTS, RECREATION AREAS & TRAILS

Welcome

Welcome to the Wisconsin State Park System! As Governor, I am proud to welcome you to enjoy one of Wisconsins most cherished resources our state parks. Wisconsin is blessed with a wealth of great natural beauty. It is a legacy we hold dear, and a call for stewardship we take very seriously. In caring for this land, we follow in the footsteps of some of nations greatest environmentalists; leaders like Aldo Leopold and Gaylord Nelson original thinkers with a unique connection to this very special place. For more than a century, the Wisconsin State Park System has preserved our states natural treasures. We have balanced public access with resource conservation and created a state park system that today stands as one of the finest in the nation. Were proud of our state parks and trails, and the many possibilities they offer families who want to camp, hike, swim or simply relax in Wisconsins great outdoors. Each year more than 14 million people visit one of our state park properties. With 99 locations statewide, fun and inspiration are always close at hand. I invite you to enjoy our great parks and join us in caring for the land. Sincerely,

Jim Doyle Governor

Gaylord Nelson
Gaylord Nelson was born in Clear Lake, Wisconsin in 1916. As a boy, he was fascinated by the natural world that surrounded his small hometown in northwestern Wisconsins lake country. In 1942 he graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School. He enlisted in the US Army and fought in the Battle of Okinawa. In 1948, he became a State Senator and served in the Wisconsin legislature for the next ten years. In 1958 he was elected Governor of Wisconsin, serving two terms. In 1962 he was elected to the U.S. Senate where he served for 18 years. A hallmark of Nelsons political career was his passion for the environment. He believed that everyone deserved clean water, clean air and a bountiful land. In 1970 he was the principal founder of the first Earth Day, a watershed event that is celebrated annually by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Nelson crafted and pursued legislation that in 1970 created the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. In 2004 Congress designated nearly eighty percent of the Lakeshore as the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness. In 1975 the Wisconsin Legislature similarly honored him by creating Governor Nelson State Park, a 422-acre haven on the shores of Lake Mendota near Madison, the state capitol. In 1995 Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of his environmental work.

Aldo Leopold
Even as a youngster, Aldo Leopold loved the outdoors the wild places of the natural world. It was a passion that guided his life. Leopold was a conservationist, forester, educator and philosopher. He lived and worked in Wisconsin from 1924 until his death in 1948 first at the US Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, then at the University of Wisconsin, School of Agriculture. He was a founder of the Wilderness Society and a prolific writer. His seminal work, A Sand County Almanac, has been read by and inspired millions. In it, Leopold detailed his efforts to restore a wornout farm in the sand country along the Wisconsin River near Baraboo. In spring 2007, Wisconsin dedicated the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center, an 11,900 sq. ft. interpretive and meeting center built on Leopolds Baraboo farm. The complex of three buildings meets the worlds highest environmental standards receiving a Platinum LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The Center scored 61 of 69 possible points, more than any other building yet rated in the world. The Center is open for tours May 1-Nov 1, Mon-Sat, 10am-4:30pm, (visit aldoleopold.org).
